Question

1. a ball accelerates downward at 9.8 m/s² with 1.7 n of force. what is the mass of the ball?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

Newton's second law \(F = ma\), so \(m=\frac{F}{a}\)

Step2: Substitute values

Given \(F = 1.7\space N\) and \(a=9.8\space m/s^{2}\), then \(m=\frac{1.7}{9.8}\)

Step3: Calculate the result

\(m\approx0.173\space kg\)

Answer:

The mass of the ball is approximately \(0.173\space kg\)
